They are very helpful and mindful. I live a very busy life, as most of us do, and sometimes I…read moreforget to pay (which should be an easy, fix, right? I mean, autopay), but I do not like autopay, never have, and I choose to pay my way. Well, when I forget "my way", guess what they do (so I don't lose my stored items)? They call me. They remind me that I haven't paid and they don't do it in a rude way. It's almost like being in a relationship with a forgetful person. The one person nudges the other and says, "hey, did you pay? Yeah, you're due. Don't worry, we're just reminding you to do it." I like that. It's not common in this day and age of a**holes.
Now, the rates have gone up (and I will call about that), but that's an easy call to find out why. John has always been tremendously helpful, for me, when I forget things, like my code or anything else that eludes me. Look, many other places would just toss your things out and be all kinds of rude to you. I mean, empathy is like a dirty word with most companies and I haven't felt that way with Public Storage.
Are they perfect? No. There have been times I've tried to contact them and had no luck and, again, the rate change that I don't remember anyone telling me about or getting information about, but again, when you do follow up, or at least in my experience, I always get an explanation. In the end, it's my choice to stay or go, right? If the rates continue to rise or if John or the other lady change jobs and I get a bunch of crazies in the office, then I WILL go and be very HONEST about it on Yelp. Until then, I'm alright. They are doing me a favor - keeping my things safe until it's time for me to go.
Thank you, John, and everyone else there at Public Storage. You have been really cool to me. And my stuff.
